BD FACSCelesta users can choose from four instrument configurations. All configurations include blue laser (488 nm) and ultraviolet laser (405 nm). Depending on your experimental needs, you can also install a red laser (640 nm), ultraviolet laser (355 nm), or yellow green laser (561 nm). By detecting up to 14 parameters on a single sample, your ability to discover in scientific experiments can be improved.
The BD FACSCelesta liquid flow system - sample line, liquid flow cart, sample pump, sheath liquid tank, and waste liquid tank design are more convenient and reliable. The newly designed digital operation panel can monitor the operation status of the flow cytometer, make adjustments at any time, and display simple indication operation modes.
New Perspectives on Cell Analysis:
flow cytometerBeing able to provide cell biologists working in various fields with a vast amount of data from molecular interactions to systems biology, from drug (metabolic) dynamics to tumor biology, from cell signaling to marine biology to biophysics, and more. The use of flow cytometry has enhanced proteomics research, improved the use of biomarkers in drug development, and developed high-throughput cell-based drug screening studies.
Researchers can detect the physical parameters of cells in suspension, such as cell shape, size, and internal complexity, by detecting and analyzing light scattering data; By increasing the number of fluorescent markers, proteins expressed or secreted by cells can be detected, thereby understanding the phenotype, function, and status of cells; The determination of cell function through flow cytometry can elucidate the types of samples, such as whole blood, cell lines, and yeast. BDFACSCelesta is equipped with three lasers and up to 14 detectors, allowing you to simultaneously measure multiple experiments on the same sample.
Single cell level study of complex taxa:
One of the main advantages of flow cytometry is that it can be used to study complex taxa. Immunoblotting, immunoprecipitation, and PCR techniques all rely on the dissolution of the whole sample, providing useful data about the whole sample, but it is difficult to compare the differences in cell subpopulations; However, other techniques for detecting individual cells, such as microscopes, cannot perform quantitative analysis on samples. Flow cytometry can perform qualitative and quantitative analysis on a large number of individual cells, while also identifying subpopulations of cells with different characteristics.
